"DG: Returning just for a moment to your contention that governments need to exercise power. Is this just a psychological aberration amongst power seekers, or is there more to it than that?
RM: I regard it as a mental illness. People such as you and me and our readers are generally wealth seekers. We want to live a prosperous, comfortable life and we seek wealth in order to do that. By contrast, people who rise to the top in government are power seekers. They get their satisfaction from forcing other people to do what they want. They are essentially bullies.
Let's offer a little proof here. Practically every piece of legislation enacted in the last 100 years has involved the use of force on persons who have not harmed anyone. Anybody who wants that privilege has to have something wrong with them, so I think it's a given that when you're dealing with a high-level politician or a high-level bureaucrat, you're dealing with somebody who likes to push other people around, and that's the fundamental factor that the American founders were looking at when they created the Constitution. They understood that political power corrupts the morals and the judgment."
The United State's foreign poilicy is dictated by the power seeker mentality.
We like to push people and countries around, either with monetary and weapon bribes or military force or the threat thereof. We are partcularly fond of picking on small weak countries bur get all bent out of shape whena country like China doesn't cave in to our huffs and puffs.
Our constitution was designed to protect the citizens from these bullies, but notice how these facists are busy undermining and destroying our fundemental rights. Mr. Bush and Mr Obama: Our constitution is more than "just a piece of paper".
With Love and Kindness,
THE HATMAN
